Leishmania donovani Proteasome (Ld Proteasome)
- Target
- Ld Proteasome
- Molecular classification
- Enzyme, Protease, Multicatalytic proteinase complex
01
Overview
The Leishmania donovani proteasome is a multicatalytic proteinase complex essential for regulated protein degradation in the parasite. It plays a crucial role in cell cycle regulation, differentiation, signal transduction, immune response modulation, stress signaling, and apoptosis. Selective inhibitors targeting the chymotrypsin-like activity of the β5 subunit have been developed due to structural differences compared to the human proteasome, making it an attractive drug target for visceral leishmaniasis.
